David Wesley fell just shy of a triple-double with 10 points, a
career-high 10 rebounds and nine assists for Charlotte, which
had won three straight games twice this season. The Hornets are
15-1 when Wesley records a double-double.

"(Wesley) was awesome," said interim coach Paul Silas, who has
guided the Hornets to a 12-9 mark since taking over for Dave
Cowens. "But it is really out of the ordinary. Here's a guy
6-1 really going and getting them (rebounds)."

Charlotte took a commanding 32-19 lead after one quarter, but
the Pistons battled back to forge a 59-59 tie on Joe Dumars'
jumper with 4:09 remaining in the third period.

Campbell scored six straight points and Chuck Person capped a
decisive 9-2 run with a 3-pointer that gave the Hornets a 68-61
lead with 1:58 left.

"I hit some tough shots," Campbell said. "Under any other
circumstances, they would be forced shots. But they went in, so
it was cool. It's all in shooting and making. This was another
huge win for us. We feel like we've got a good flow going. I'm
playing and getting all the minutes I want. That's what it
takes. Leave me out there, let me play and I'll give you the
production."

"We felt Campbell could get off in the paint," Silas added.
"He's been working hard in practice and before games on his
shooting. It's money now when he shoots. You do expect that
kind of production from him. If you could kind of write in 24 or
25 points a game, it's to your advantage."

Chucky Brown scored 14 points and Eddie Jones added 12 for
Charlotte (16-20), which pulled within three games of
Philadelphia for eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

Don Reid collected a career-high 25 points and Grant Hill added
15 for Detroit (22-16), which dropped into a fourth-place tie
with Atlanta in the East. The Pistons and Hawks are 2 1/2 games
behind first-place Indiana in the tightly packed Central
Division.

"We just got outplayed in every phase of the game," Detroit
coach Alvin Gentry said. "That's the bottom line. They
outhustled us. They set the tone in the first quarter. We let
them get off to a great start and were fighting uphill from
there. They just had more energy than we did."

Jerry Stackhouse, who had missed seven of the last eight games
with an injured groin, returned to score 14 points for the
Pistons. Detroit has lost four of its last six games and may
have trouble holding onto a postseason spot as only four of its
remaining 12 games will be at Auburn Hills.

Detroit center Bison Dele scored eight points in 12 minutes but
was forced to leave the game after the opening quarter with a
groin strain. He is listed as day-to-day.

Despite the absence of Derrick Coleman, the Hornets' leading
rebounder, Charlotte held a 45-38 advantage on the boards.
Coleman remains day-to-day with a sprained left ankle.

These teams will meet again on Wednesday in Charlotte to
complete the home-and-home series.

Charlotte's Bobby Phills, who had hit game-winning shots in each
of the last two victories, had 10 points and eight rebounds. The
Hornets shot 49 percent (32-of-66) and overcame 18 turnovers.

Reid was 10-of-13 from the field but watched his teammates make
only 22-of-73 shots, giving the Pistons a 38 percent
performance.

Detroit was a woeful 2-of-17 from beyond the arc, including an
0-of-1 by Grant Hill, who has not made one in 13 attempts this
season. Charlotte connected on 6-of-13 from long range.

The Hornets watched a nine-point halftime lead disappear on
Dumars' jumper, capping a 15-6 run that made it 59-59 with 4:10
remaining in the third quarter.

But Campbell drained a pair of jumpers and added an emphatic
slam before Person sank a 23-footer from the left corner to make
it 68-61 with 1:58 left.

"(Campbell's) been big for us on this whole streak," Wesley
said. "We need that presence inside, both offensively and
defensively. The way he's been crashing the boards has been
huge."
